Appointments are now open.

Come see us at the NCU Writing Center!!!

Michael (Wednesdays): Make an Appointment here!

Mike (Fridays): Make an Appointment here!

Once you've made an appointment, Calendly will email you a confirmation.

The link in the confirmation email ("View event in Calendly") will allow you to reschedule or cancel your appointment if needed.

IMPORTANT: APPOINTMENTS CAN ONLY BE MADE 1 WEEK IN ADVANCE. 

For example, you will only see an option to book an appointment for Wednesday of Week 9 beginning on Wednesday of Week 8.

Calendly will show no appointments in the month if the week's appointments have been filled, but we still have appointments! You just need to wait for them to open up.

There are 12,000 students at NCU and only 16 appointments per week, so students will only be allowed to make one appointment per week with either Michael or Mike. Students can make one appointment every week if they wish to do so.

If you have any questions, feel free to email us at ncuetf@gmail.com.

...and more! These are some ideas and suggestions, but we would love to help with many types of projects and skills. Just us let know!

Your tutors will begin by asking you some questions to set a brief agenda for the session. You will let the tutor know what you need assistance with (writing, speaking, reading, listening), and they will then focus on that area during the session. The session is a collaborative process, so you will have a dialogue with the tutor throughout the session. You will read your writing aloud, discuss your presentation, state your concerns, and they will explain concepts about English to help you improve. You will take notes, brainstorm, and make suggested changes throughout the session. Come to your appointment prepared to learn and engage with your tutor. At the end of your time together, the tutor will recap what you covered and provide you with some concrete steps to move forward. We will also ask you to fill out a survey in the last 5 minutes.

1. We are a service to help NCU students and faculty better use English in reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

2. Respect for students, faculty, and tutors will be expected.

3. Our sessions are expected to be a dialogue between tutors and student/faculty.

4. We are not an editing service. We will not read a paper, correct it, and give it back.

5. We have a limit of meeting us once a week.

6. We cannot offer a grade for work.

7. We will not tolerate any harassment or inappropriate behavior. We reserve the right to end sessions early and refuse service.

8. We will not be upset if you have to cancel. Life happens!

9. If you make an appointment, please come on time. It is okay to be a little late.

10. Please do not eat during the session.
